The parks were very nice, I loved the care that goes into the flowers and grounds, beautiful. Alderlea was a gorgeous place, their grounds were beautiful. What is Alderlea, you didn't stop to let me read the history. Nice walk in the old part of town, thank you. Oh, I loved the walk thru Vivian Lane too, and the petunia pots.

Thank you for your support of the channel. Glad that you liked the video. Here’s a brief history of Alderlea - “Alderlea, meaning meadow of Alder trees, was constructed circa 1867 for Kenneth Chisholm, businessman, political figure and son-in-law of John Elliott, a founding father of Brampton. Designed as an Italianate villa, Alderlea is one of Ontario's finest examples of this architectural style. The original grand eur of the estate included a large front lawn and garden, which is now Gage Park, Brampton's first municipal park. Following the economic depression of the 1890s, the grounds of Alderlea and the adjacent Elliott estate were put up for sale. In 1944, the Royal Canadian Legion purchased Alderlea, which they expanded in 1947 with a two-storey addition called "Memorial Hall" to accommodate soldiers returning home from service in World War II. The City of Brampton purchased Alderlea as part of its sesquicentennial. The rejuvenation began in 2010, and involved selective demolition, heritage restoration, adaptive reuse, and a complementary addition. The main floor showcases eleven-foot ceilings, stunning decorative plasterwork, large wood moulding and trim, marble fireplaces, and a marvellous set of pocket doors with etched glass that allude to the opulence of the mansion's past. Many of these features were hidden under walls and ceilings for decades, like treasures waiting to be discovered. Alderlea stands as a monument to Brampton's heritage, showcases the successful blend of classic and contemporary, and exemplifies the City's commitment to cultural heritage conservation.”
